§ Mr. WilkinsonTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make a statement on the aims of Club of Three; what was the United Kingdom's financial contribution to the meeting of September last, and what arrangements have been made for the projected London meeting of mid-1998. [25129]
§ Mr. Doug HendersonThe Club of Three is an informal private gathering, not a governmental or intergovernmental organisation. It would not therefore be appropriate for me to make a statement on its aims. We did not make a financial contribution to the meeting in September 1997. The arrangements for meetings are a matter for the organisers.
§ Mr. WilkinsonTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will list the participants in past Club of Three meetings; and if(a) minutes or (b) conference papers are circulated or deposited. [25128]
§ Mr. Doug HendersonThe Club of Three is an informal private gathering, not a governmental or intergovernmental organisation. We are not therefore in a position to answer the question.
